NEW YORK'S FINEST DWELLINGS. A Description of Wiillinm II. Vundcrbilt ? New Residence on Fifth Avenue. Mr. Vanderbilt's new liouso is the most elegant private residence, inside and outside, in New York city. The i building comprises three houses. A ! central porch divides the building into two sections. The south section is Mr. Vanderbilt's own residence. It is eighty- | four feet front by 115 feet deep, and four stories in height. The north section is seventy-four feet front by 105 feet, deep, and is divided into two houses. Tne houses are of brown stone, in the style of the Greek lienaissance. There is DTPat wealth of carving at many u poiBts, chit fly designs of trailing vines A broad path leads tip to the central corridor. The walls cf he corridor are of African marble, and the floor is of mosaic. The doors opening to the right and left are bronze, set with Scriptnral medallions. They are copies of the Ghiberti gates at Florence, and they cost 820.00U. They open to the left on a vestibule from which three bronze doors open, one into the main hall and two into reception rooms at tho sides. The hall extends the full height of the house. Eight red marble pillars with bronze capitals support galleries on each floor, which lead to the living rooms. It is lighted by nine large stained glass windows. Tho walls are wainscoted with carved English oak twelve feet high, and opposite the entrance is a mantelpiece of red marble and bronze. It reaches to the first gallery, and has on each side two life size female figures in high relief. The door to the east o? the hall op ns on the drawing-room. The walls are covnnirnil TTA/">r? OTirlr inlflul Witll CiOU n ibu VU4 * cv* .? v/vv. mother-of-pear], and, in the panels, are hung with pale red velvet, on which are embroideries of flowers and foliage. At the side of each door am columns of onyx with brooza capitals, bearing vases of stained glass and clusters of liehts. In the corners are other clusters, upheld by female figures of solid silver. The ceiling is of blue and gold, but will eventually be covered by paintings by Gallaud. The dimensions of the room are twenty-five by thirty-one feet. Gilded and carved sliding doors draped with rich curtains give access on the north to the library, and on the 6onth to the Japanese parlor. In the library the bcok-cases, mantels and doors are of rosewood, inlaid with motherof-peail and brass. The ceiling is set with panels containing small square mirrors. The dimensions of the libraiy are seventeen by twenty six feet. A door on the west opens on Mr. Van derbilt's private reception-room, when? the walls are wainscoted with mahogany, and above that covered with stamped leather. In the Japanese parlor the ctiling is ? t v. ?/\nf Tritli rp/3 cropn U1 UttUiUUU, pxiwacu vuw (!?? > -v?, and yellow lacquer work. A low-toned tapestry of Japanese uncut vtlvet in curious deigns covers tbe walla and the furniture. Tbe lower part of the walls are hidden by a fantastic cabinet, with innumerable pigeonholes, shelves and cupboards. At various points are bronze panels, picked out in gold and silver. The dimensions are the same as the library. To tne we&t is the dining room, twenty-eight feet wide by thirty-seven feet long. It is wainscoted in English oak, and above, supported cn brackets, are glass-faced cases holding the silver, porcelain and ^lass. The gilded panels of tho arched ceiling are filled with carvings of fruits and foliage, and the spaces with paintings of hunting scenes by Luminais, of Paris. The furniture is of English oak with brass ornaments, and covered with s'amred leather. Tbe great picture gallery is to the west of the main hall and occupies the entire rear of tho building. The dimensions aro tbirtv-t^o feet by fortyeight. Tho ceiliDg is thirty-five feet high and is c Jefiy formed of a skylight in opalescent and tinted glass, leaded in onaint designs. A monumental man telpiece of red African marble, with cone of glass mosaic work, occuf ie3 the western wall. The woodwork of the room is of black cak, with San Domingo mahogany fcr the caryadites and pilasters. The floor is inlaid with the same mahogany, and bordered with a mosaic of Sienna and black marble in the Pompeiian style. The walls above the wainscoting are covered with a dark red tapestry to set off the pictures. Over ' the doors on the north, east and south sides are balconies connecting with the second stoiy of the honse. Tho one en 'the south opens into the conservatory. The pallery has a separate entrance from Fifty-lirst btreet, and the vestibule is entirely? floor, walls and ceiling?of marble mosaic work, made in Venice. North of the gallery is the aquarelle j room. Thii is finished in Circassian walnnt, Mooiish style, touched hero | and there with bright colors. To the ri^ht as one cn'ers the main hall is the wide staircase with bronze banisters. The firs4, landing opens on % gallery which runs around the aquarelle room. On the second floor the room in the northeast corner is the ! family parlor. It is finished in ebony, j inlaid with iverv. The walls are covered with a dark bine silk brocade, and ! the ceiling is.divided into small panels*, I with paintings of children at play I The next room on Fifth avenue is Mrs. Vanderbilt's bedroom, furnished by i Alard, of Paris. The walls are of white marble, hung with silk, and the ceiling is covercd with the painting, "Awakening of Aurora," by Lefebvre. The frieze is of rosewood and mahogany. The rcom is twenty-six feet square. Mr. Vandirbilt's room, adjoining, is j finished in roeewocd, inlaid wi,K satin j B7r\r\A TTiq ^?ofiDir?o'_rAAm la TUoiniJ^nfpH 1 eight feet high in glass opalescent tiles j of blue, gold and silver tints, and g'lded on the hacks. The bath tabsaDd basins ; are of mahogany and silver, and are concealtd by gliding plate-glass mirrors. The large room on Fifty first street is a libiary, fUted np in mahogany and stamped leather. The bedroom interded for Miss Leila, now Mrs. Webb, is fitted with rosewood, inlaid with mother-of-poarl. The mirrors are painted with an imitation of lacework through which children's heads peep. Between 6ix hundred and seven hundred men vrtre employed for a year and a half on the interior deceptions. Sixty sculptors were l> ought from Europe and kept at work for two rears, j The total cosv, including the furniture, 1 is said to Lave been thr^e million dollars. ? The Pocket Photographic Instrument. Have you 1 eard of tbe instantaneous photographic instrument ? asks a New York correspondent. It is a great invention. The iustrument is no larger than a well-filled poeketbook, yet it is ; so complete tha- every man can be bis own photographer without any trouble. The process of taking the pictnro is as simple as writing. You simply hold the instrument before the ol'je'jt to be taken aDd fhero ifc in. I believe the policeman of L*?ndoi. a ? armed with them, and they Ha h then camera on a rogue with as much eace as you would a dark lantern. No matter how swiftly | an object iR moving, it can be taken. I j know of one enthnsiastic man who j claims that they will be the reporter's j note-book of the fntnre. For example, j he is writing an article on the Brooklyn bridge, and as he writes he ueea his j camera. When he Roes home he de-?( velops his plates, and cocsequectly has a correct picture of the scene before ; him. Indeed, he never goes cut of the : house without his instrume t in his ! pocket, and be beeps his friends supplied vith picture?. I am a litt'e afraid of the abnse of this invention. Au unprincipled meal Keeing a pretty girl on ' the avenue can whip out his cameraand have h* r face at c r.re transferred to the plate. The instruments are quite cheap j ? 81') I believe i* is that they cost?so , here in fnn f< r the million.

It may be right occasionally to take a ball by the horns, but it is alwavs well to keep in mind that the horns belong to the bull. The ISuildiiig- of Homes. A farmer writes in the American Ag- | ri^n'tnrist: Double doors?folding or i sliding?arc a great social "institution." j By them two rooms may be thrown into j one. A good broad ball becomes in ! summer nn extra room. The air cir- \ cnlates. There is a freedom, an opeu- . ness about the house, which gives an air of superiority to even very humble dwellings. The superiority is real, too. if we invite a few menus lor ine eveui ing, it is not necessary to confite them j o the "parlor," bat the doors are i hrown wide open, our guests will fill I parlor and hall, and sitting-room and kitchen, perhaps, and jet all are one ' company, for t he broad doors being open he whole house is thrown together. Music sounds through such a house do- , lightfnllv, and people have a good time and love to come, because it is so i j cheerful and social. Another point in 1 our home buildiDg which we too often j overlook is the i xposure of the principal i living and sleeping rooms to tho direct influence of the sun. The ell'ect of the sunlight is best gained when the house 6tand> with its corners towaul the cardinal points, for thus the sun shines with considerable power on all sides of the house every clear day in tho sum- | mer, and yet his power is broken, be ? -1- ? il./v ?<?T-ci t f ??ilrn cause at uuuuuay tuc iu;.i numc two sides obliquely, and very soon leave i the southeastern side in the shade. Wo should not forget that the sunshine is healthgiving; dampness and shade, if slightly in excess, iDjure the health of both men and animals. One thing more is the importance of i having some provision for fire in the chambers. We build for health and I not for sickness, and I do not hesitate to say that many a family mourns the loss of a member simply because the j sleeping room could not be easily j heated. The best mode of heating no doubt is ; bv an open fire of some kind. It is j very easy in building to make open fire! places in at least three chambers J through which the chimney passes. Of course open fireplaces are not : economical of fuel, but in the chambers 1 j fire is seldom wanted, and stoves may i bo used if preferred. As to economy of ; fuel, builders as well as architfcts and proprietors, either frequently overlook j one important fact, or they do not look l at it, that is, that the warmest part of i ?- ... v? flip flnnr: ro ttli V U UUl 1(3 lttiuuccu ~ ? , ! if we make our rooms ten or eleven feet 1 high we must heflt the air iu all that j ; upper part before a person sitting at a ; table begins to feel at all warm, unless ! j he is where he gets radiation from tht J I stove or open lire. Low ceilings effect ) the greatest economy of fuel, and even ! | make open tires economic il u3 comj pared with stoves and high coilitigf. I Nine feet is, 1 think, an extreme height j I for tho ceiling of an ordinary country I house, bay one in which tho largest ! room is not more than twenty feet square, or of equivalent area.

There is no man a Boer has greater ; j reverence for than a doctor, yet those j in the Transvaal are mostly unqualified practitioners or quacks of the most aul dacious kind. But ho will drive miles i to fetch one of those fellows, and hand j ! over the fee with a groi-n, without a j thought of disputing it. The rapacity ' of these practitioners is incredible. Not many months ago a Boer living on the | highroad to Pretoria called in a local doctor to attend his wife. Everything ; ; passed off quite satisfactorily ; and the j ! doctor asked as his fee 8750, and got it. I As the Boer said, "it was a very dear j baby." And this man had only driven i I n ^ ?T> i 1 AC trs flic m | OUliiC Clguil LUliVO WVf W?vv 4? I A more amusing incident happened ; when another doctor was called upon I j by a Boer, with an urgent.request that ' he would come out to liis farm to at- | I tend a sick man. ' " How far is the farm11?" asked the i mrdical man. ? " About twenty miles." " Twenty miles?twenty pounds. A pound a mile." To which the Boer \ j agreed, and went away to fetch his "spider." On returning he found his ! friend a little the worse for liquor, but ! thinking the effects would soon pass | j off he took him up and they drove 1 | away. After going some few hundred j | yards the doctor laid his bands on the | reins, stretching one out and hiccup Eg " One mile?one pound. The Boer, willing to liumor him, gave him a pound and drove on again; but before half the previous distance was done the trap was agiin stopped, and the hand poked out under the driver's nose? "Two miles?two pounds." This was too much even for a Boer, and he turned and drove back, doing as best he could without advice. I know a third case, where a doctor ' attending a patient called at the house ninet3en timeR in one day, asking for his fee at each visit, and managing the . business by calling at the front door, leaving through the kitchen, and going ! rouud to the front again. But then he was a bit drunk too. The fees are given in written promises i tri mv. palled " iroo 1 fors." as Boers i seldom keep sums of money in the r houses; and these " good-fors'" are readily laken at any store where the Boer is in the habit of trading, the storekeeper knowing that they will be taken up when the man cornea in to sell his produce. ?IHackwcoi. Anaesthetics. Dr. John G. Johnson, of Brooklyn, recently read nn interesting paper be- i fore the New York Medico-Legal so' i ciety on 41 Anaesthetics." The follow- i ing are some of the points of the doc- i tor's statements : Should a patient die from cliloro- | form inhaled in a sitting position in a dentist's chair it could no longer be urged in behalf of the surgeon, whose patient had been chloroformed out of existence, as it was successfully argued in behalf of the young Parisian surgeon in 1853, who had' been imprisoned for the death of a patient under chloroform, on whom he was operating wi'hout assistance, that there was no tixed rults for the admini>tration of ch'.oroform. The English chloroform committee appointed by the Royal Medico Chiiurgical society laid down in 1801 the rule that an:c3thetics should always l e given in the recumbent position and never in the erect position. The reason of this rule is evident. In natural respiration the rising and falling of tbe ribs is produced by the intercostal '' muscles, and the respiration is called I , thoracic. As the patient comes under the influence of the an:e*thetic. thes?> 1 intercostal muscles become paraljzed and cease their action. The rospira- 1 ticn is then kept up by the action of the diaphragm or abdominal nspTTaticn. \ Those who have seen much of tii^ patients under the influence of arsesthetics in onr large hospitals must have 1 not'eed how quickly a patient stopped ] breatr.irg at this stage if an assistant pressed against the abdomen, to watch J the operation or to pass an instrument. Sow, as soon aR the patient comes fully j under tbe influence of an anesthetic, she blips down in the dentist's chair Tbe weight oi the upper portion of the ' body is com pre-sing the abdomen ? preventing the diaphragm from acting. , I think, with the present knowltdgo of anesthetics, that a surgeon who j should administer ehloioform to a patient in the erect position in the dent tist's chair, with her clothes tighar.mnd her waist, and tlio patient should die, he v.onhi justly bo hold for ' manslaughter. During the earlv ages 1 of ante <thetics the knowledge of the 1 profession was only experimental. ' Tha*: age has passed. The most dis- ' tingnirhed men iu the profession, as long ago as 18(34. published ibis rule and the reasons for it. Subsequent experimentation lias demonstra'ed the justice of it. It has Leen adopted by 1 all our modern writers on the sab- 1 ject. The courts have held over and over again that a physician must practice according to the well-known rules oj the profession, and if he departs ' 1 from them it is at his ntril. 1 "The Best Liver Diopa," is tUft title of au advertisement in the dniiy und weekly.

Ex Governor Bagley, of Michigan, who 4ied not lODg ago, was a very successful man in business and eccentric in his habits of life. In his will he directed that his employes?those who had made his fortune?should not suffer by his death. They were to be retained in the service of his heirs, for a time at least, and on the day of the testator's funeral tbey were to receive presents as follows: Fifty dollars to all who had been in his service five years, f$200 to all who had served him ten 5 ears, and $500 to all who had served him fifteen years. On a cold night a prisoner who was being court martialed on the United States flagship Lancaster, at Nice, France, broke from his Ruard and leaped into the water.

Sontheru land syndicates are becoming numerous in New York, London, Boston and Amsterdam. Sir E. J. Reed, reprtsenting Eaglish investors, and Dr. Jacobus Westheim, of Amsterdam, representing investors in Holland, have just bought two million acres of land in Florida, ar.d Phillips, Marshall & Co., xof London, have bought 1,300,000 acres in Mississippi. The Mississippi purchase consists in good part of levee lands in the Yazoo delta. A Nashville syndicate holds 100,000 acres in Tennessee and Mississippi, and, according to the Atlanta Constitution, scarcely a commercial paper is without its advertisements of Southern land schemes. The town of Dennisonville, near the south end of New Jersey, has a singular industry in the digging of cedar trees out of a swamp where they have lain for hundreds of years. The swamp is ten miles square, and the trees are piled to an unknown depth. The digging has been going on fox ninety years, and but fraction of the timber has been taken out. The trees are large, and tho wood, wtrch is perfectly preserved and not even waterlogged, is used for making shingles, tubs and pails. The diggers locate tho trunks, at the depth or a few feet, by prodding, clear away the earth and roots and cut them off at top and bottom with a saw like that used to cut ice, when the logs rise in the water and are hauled out. It is supposed that tho trees grew there * *1 41, / U wnen me swamp was mieu mtu neou water, and that, by some change of ]and, sea water suddenly came in and that the trees were overthrown and buried. A French chemist named Gros professes to have made a discovery which acquits both France and Germany of the charge brought by each against the other of having used poisoned bullets daring the late war. This horrid accusation has been defended by the surgeons on both sides, who have persisted in declaring that poison was present in many wounds which they treated, in sunicient quantities to baffle their skill. M. Gros traces this poison, not to deliberate hnman contrivance, but to the breechloaders of tho period. The kindling of the gunpowder, he says, developed in tbe sides of the barrel a s>mull quantity of prussic BCld, which was imbibed by the ball during its rapid transit, and this fearful poison was consequently lodged in the wuurjds of many a luckless Frenchman and German. Hence the reason why it was so often found to be difficult, or even impossible, to heal even slight wounds, and the doctors on both sides were justified in their declaration that poison was present. The fact that similur poisonings of the wounded did not occar formerly was due, saya M. Gro?, to the paper used, which absorbed the small particles of poison and regularly cleansed the gun-barrel. 1 Labor on a S inihvh'h Island Plantation. A letter from the Sandwich Islands | gives this interesting account of life on the plantations there: In the field and at the mill bonds work lazily, talking i and laughing among them elves, looking healthy, cheerful and contented i and on tho "best terms with the plantcis j and overseers. Tho work is what any boy or girl fifteen years old conld per* j form, but the boys anf^ girls must go | to school.

The ; native is particularly susceptible to this I treatment. Natives usually reship; Ubit;esc never do, but they haunt a [iintation after tho expiration of their contract, gambling with the hands, selling them smuggled opium and liqucr.

Tho building was commonly known as the World bnil ling, a part of it having been occupied until recently by that newspaper. It was ,>ld an 1 peculiarly constructed, having a large woll in tho center, up which tho flames rushed with fearful rapidity, cutting off many of tho tenants from escape by tho stairs. Tho story or this tiro-one of the most disastrous that has visited tho metropolis in many years?is told as follows: About tive minutes after the smoke was first observed the llames shot up Ir mi tho basement through an elevator way at the Nassau street door, spreading in every one of the tivo stories, reaching the top in an in-tant. blazing right through tho rojf, and mingling luridly with the column 01 smone. I'o most of tho 150 to 175 persons in the many offices which occupied tho structure, tho tiro itself gavo the only warning. Few heard any outcry. Flames crackling at tho doors were in somo instances ilic lii>t sound of the danger; and instant, deadly danger it iva?, for tbo hallways and ?t airways were filled with fire before twoili ids of tho inmates could escape through lt-m. Tho rest got out by the windows or not it all. Ti e lire had other ways of rising and -pre dim? ilian by tho pine boarded elevator, though iliat would have been sufficient by it ilfto Jistribule the llames quickly. In tho ( liter ofthe bnilding was a huge well, reaching f oni the second story to the roof, and having windows opening into ttio adjoining rooms, fn this the fire roared as in a chimney with a mig tv draught, kindling the woodwork of tho windows and shivering the glass. Tho large - piare openings made by the well in two of t..e lloors were railed around with wooden balmsrades and formed galleries from which offices opened, and all this space was speedily ablaze. Tlioso who escaped without hindrance did so in tho wild rush down the small row of Btairwxys into Park row. They wero men, women and boys. .Many of them were bareheaded and wit lion t overcoats or wraps, so hasty was their Might. A few* carriod books and bundles, caught up on the instant. Thero wore similar -t.iirs lendincr down to Nassau street, butalong ."i'h- ilio-o was tho elevator, and egress was imp<?;sib!e by thein within two minutes after tho lire gained a headway. It is said that thero were lot) persons in the buildiug, and that ;rnrly, or quite, fifty wore still insido when no .'t.iiher hope of 0!<caping by doors and stairs remained. Theso imperiled persons were jittered on all tho floors abovo tho lower one. They wcro chiefly tho editors, publishers, clerks and printers of the Scientific American, tho Observer, tho Scottish American, the Retailer, the Turf, neld and I\imi, and Thompson's Bank Note Importer, S.

The heat drove everybody out of Nan an and Bookman street?, but 011 tho Park r?w s:de there was plonty of available space, and its earlier occupauts were horrified by what they saw. Af.er the first ontponr of panic-stricken per "0111 Irom the doorway on Park row came frov fl". 1 stragglers, smgcu uy mu uniuvn nuiwuou touched them as they stumbled down the stairs, c'mked by the smoko and wild with terror. I lien a big blazo buret out, and the spectators Idio v that 110 more could como out alive at that point. A general cry of sympathy and alarm arose aa the figures of men and women appeared at the windows of the fourth and fifth atones. Firemen had arrived, an alarm at 10:15 having l.i'en promptly responded to, but their longest ladders only reached well up to the third story. A giil fainted at sight of these poemingiy Uouined prisoners, and exclamations of pity were cnncliod in the strongest terms. From tin- third atory it was easy to climb down the ladders, and many did so, with the assistance of tin firemen. But there were not ladders enough for all who were on that floor even, beiatt-e t'ic fire was already in the rooms, catchng in tin p 1 ;s of paper with which nearly all :lic liew.-paper oilicea were incumbered, and ti:o utmost haste was requisite to escape burning or suffocation. Two ui'-n threw up a window of the Obsercer office, and climbed out on the narrow sill. A red glare behind them, with a black background of smoke, showed how hotly they were iMirsued. They wore the Ilcv. Dr. S. I reineus Prime, (Uitorot tiio uuserver, auu mo iv.-\. ui. StocMart. A wide siguboard served as a guard f.<r thorn, and they eaged along behind it until they got to tho Times building adjoining, where they entered a window. At the name Iiin" Edward L. C.

A cheer went up fiom the crowd. But the cheering was only for an instant. It was silenced by a horrifying eight. Mrs. Ellen Bull, colored, tho janitress of five offices in the building, aged about fifty years, came to a third-story window and called loudly for help. Some men held a largo sheet for her and she jumped, but missing tho sheet, fell with terrible lorcc on the sidewalk. She was raised and taken at once to tho Chambers street hospital, wliei e slw died in about an hour. liiuhard S. Davy, printer, a native of Englan I, fortv years old, was seen on tho rool running wildly up and down and calling loudly for "Help! help!" Suddenly he was seen to nlip and fall. On his way he stru rk against the telegraph wires and was badly hurt. Rebounding fiom the wires he fell to the sidewalk with a crash, breaking his log and injuring himself badly in tho face. He was taken to tin* Chambers street hospital, whero he died. While these scenes were being enacted by the firemen in Nassau street similar ones were going on in Park row. Hook and Ladder Company No. 10 was stationed there, and the daring and bravery of private John J. Horn commanded the admiration of tho spectators. Ho ran up the ladder in .Park rtiw, near the Beekmau street corner, and rescued two men aud one woman. To do this he had to be supplied with another ladder ten feet long, wliich was held by one of his companions on the first ladder. After that Hr.rn til up Ail lftddpr airainst a room on tlio same lloor near the Times building. Two laces bad been seen to disappear from the window. Ho could see nothing when the window w as reached, as the room, which was nearly fifty feot square, was thick with smoke. Inside ho "heard groans. He jumped through the window and in a minute afterward reappeared | with a man in his arms. The man was found almost unconscious, lying on the floor. Horn went into the room twice afterward, and each time ho found a man almost lifeless from suffoI cation. As he descendod with his last man the crowd cheered lustily. Another of the rcscuere of Hook and Ladder No. 10 was John E. Nolan, who had charge of a ladder on the Park row side. Ho hrd a ladder that reached to the third story, and from thero ho passed out two women. On the floor above in the windows were others who were crying piteously for help. Nolan wouud his legs in an astonishing way in the rungs of Ihe ladder and ciied out: "Jump into my arms; it's your I only chance." There were two women irra win| dow directly above, and the crowd shouted to [ them to leap, and one, after a momont's hesitai tion, did so, rnd was caught safely in Nolan's | arms. A cheer rose tip from the crowd as the | girl was carried, fainting, down the ladder by another fireman. Tho other woman, encouraged by the result of her companion's risky t leap, poised on tho window-sill to leap also. Nolan held out his arms roady to catch her, i and she jumped, but from dizziness or ner5 vousness, it is thought, missed her footing and fell. A shout of horror, went tip from tho i crowd. The woman was not killed, however, for the fell into an awning and was but sligh tly hurt. As the firo burned out the beams between tiio walls and story after story of the building fell j in, the walls bogan to totter. The first to go I was that 011 the Nassau stroet side, as it was ! here that the flames were fiercest. Then that 011 Bcekman street leaned in and finally fill. Tho !' lal ing of this wall was fortunate iu this roI epeer, because before it fell the beat in 15ook1 man street was eo great that tho firemen ! could not work. Hie fall of this wall enabled tho men to carry in their hose and throw water upon the walls of Kelly's and tho Mail's old office. Tho fire-wall between the but lit building and tho Times was kept (tool by the water from the water tower, which was working in Nassau street, and that from Hie combination nozzle, supplied by Engino No. 27, tho most powerlul steamer on tho ground, playing f:om the 1'ark row side. It requited four men to manage the combination nozzle. Tho pavements were littered wMt the remains of burnt ladders}. Tho spectators and the men on duty around tho lire were onrigeu to cover their laces with liandkeiehiefs to protect them from the heat. An artist sketching the tire found it necessary to wrap his handkerchief around the hand holding his sltetcsi.ng pad. Tho Kelly building 011 1'eehmau street was threatened, as was tlif> monster Morse building 011 Nassau street. Tim fact that they were tirepioof was a 1 tirif saved them from destruction. Tito authorities of the postoflico opp site had all of tho iron shutters drawn down in order to prevent the sparks, in case the heat broke the glass, from coming into tho offices. About 12 o'clock the last of the walls fell, and it was soon seen that tho firo was liually under control.

We do not propose to dispute this worthy's view of the matter, but present herewith the experience of a Philadelphia journalist, Mr. "William H. Cunnington, 1712 North Twentieth street, one of whose nocturnal rambles he thus refers to, beginning his narration rather' peculiarly, however: " I am not a rheumatic, and have been troubled very little with bodily pains. Last Tuesday morning I experienced a very annoying stiffness of the neck, which grew worse as the day^wore on. Toward evening it became very severe, and I could scarcely turn my head in any direction. Arriving home at tea time it was with difficulty that 1 could eat my meal. My wife wanted to rub my neck with St. Jacobs Oil, but I refused, saying I thought the affliction would soon pass away. Tea over, against the remonstrances of my family, I left home to ramble toward the new Chestnut Street Opera House, about two and a half miles from my residence. I started in the midst of a heavy snow storm, and remained at the theater until the close of the performance, although I could feel my neck getting worse and becoming very painful. Leaving the play the trouble came to reach home. The storm continued; the car in which I was became blocked in nearly every square, a cold current of air swept through the car, and 1 did not reach my home until toward 2 A. M., by which timg my neck had become absolutely rigid Then I consented to the use of St. Jacobs "Oil, which n?y wife ap plied two or three times before 1 arose.

How they keep warm in winter aD<3 cook the year ronud with no other fuel than loose straw, is a mystery to the average American. The^ Mennonite emigrant, when choosing a locality, is quite unconcern d at the total absence of timbir, and will settle many miles from wood or coal with indifference as to the fuel question, in localities where an American would never think of makiug a farm. He sees fuel for the first year in the miles of grass about him; the second and succeeding years he will have the straw from his crops, and strawstacks are his favorite substitutes for the wood-pile and the coal-bin. Wo first saw straw in use ft r fuel at the house of a Russian Mennonite bishop in the colony of McPherson county, Kansas. Dinner for four of us was to be prepared. A vigorous young Monnonite girl vanished with a bushel basket, and returned with it full of loose straw, then placing her kettles, etc., on tlio top of the cook range, opened the fire-door, and thrust; in two lar^o baudfuls of straw, touched the match, closed the door, and the kettle commenced singing almost immediately ; in about two minutes the door was again opened, and two moro handfuls of straw,were thrust in and the door closed. Our dinner consisted cf ham, eggs, potatoes, Russian wafiles and excellent coffee, all cooked in less time than an ordinary stove could have betn ma.te "hot lor biscuits." The Are was " dead out" before the dinner was half consumed, and the house none the warmer for the fire, the surplns heat all escaping through the broad chimney.?American Agriculturist. Ailments that Seem Trifling Are often but the prelude to a complication ol obstinate maladies. Among the former are a fit of indigestion, loss of appetite, biliounnesa and inactivity of the bowels. It is highly unsafe to disregard any of these symptoms of bodily derangement. They should bo attended to at once, ere they become chronic, and involve the general health. The above complaints may be easily subdued with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Rheumatism r.nd fever and ague, both maladies for which the above is a reliable specific, yield moat readily to it in their incipiency. The testimony as to its preventive efficacy, and fortifying influence upon the system, is particularly satisfactory and conclusive. Nervous ailments are among the maladies for which prompt -relief is obtained by the use of this sterling medicine. Nearly $10,000,000 was taken from tho mines of Utah last year, and a bullion product of $13,000,000 is predicted for the present year.
